Past Meetings and Workshops

EGU 2025:

Splinter Meeting at EGU, Vienna, Austria

Date: 28 April 2025

SPM44 will be held in Room: 2.97 (30) on Monday during the lunch break (12:45–13:45pm). This will be an opportunity to give feedback on the protocol for ISMIP7.

June Workshop 2024:

The  Woodlands at Algonkian Regional Park, 47001 Fairway Drive, Sterling VA 20165, USA

Date: 10 - 14 June 2024. 

The workshop primary goal is to revisit the decisions that led to the ISMIP6 standalone ice sheet model protocol and design draft protocols for ISMIP7. ISMIP7 has launched a series of focus groups on SMB, Ice-ocean interactions, Antarctic ice-shelf collapse, Sea level and GIA, and observations. A key focus for ISMIP7 is how to improve the historical simulations of ice sheets. The workshop will provide an opportunity for these focus groups to interact with each other as well as with the ISMIP ice sheet modelers. We will also invite stakeholders.

The workshop will be designed to be a creative, collaborative event, that will review and identify the limitation of ISMIP6 and assess progress since ISMIP6. It will include 1) brief presentations of plans for ISMIP7/CMIP7, current thoughts from focus groups and other projects, current ISM capabilities 2) multiple breakout groups and 3) discussions of paths forwards and identifying deadlines for delivery of sea level projections from ISMIP7 to be considered by IPCC AR7. This will be also be the time to try ideas in models, draft preliminary papers etc. Outcomes and feedback from this workshop will be presented to the community at the two smaller workshop linked to IGS and Fall AGU.

We have a limited number of places and would like to accommodate as many expertise as possible, if interested in participating, please email ismip6 -at- gmail.com... This workshop is sponsored by the Heising Simons Foundation, and we aim to sponsor lodging in shared cottages and flights for as many participants as possible. If you would like to have your flight sponsored by the event, you will need to use the provided travel agency.
